If you have kids, then you probably have Legos in your house. Tons of Legos. However, once the project is built sometimes the kids are done with the Legos and want to move on to the next set. Problem is: they’re expensive and take hours to build. Pleygo is a new rental and sharing service for Legos that allows you and your kids to build a wish list of the sets you want to build and they soon show up on your doorstep for unlimited playtime fun. There are currently two plans for the service, option one is $14.99 per month and you get one set at a time and can return at anytime or option two is $9.99 per set you order and you can have it for four weeks before returning. When you are ready to return, you just drop it into the pre-paid postage envelope and wait for your next set to come in the mail. As a Pleygo member, you can also earn “points” to swap for Lego sets by sending in any unused Lego sets you may already have (think…the same two sets they got for the holidays that can’t be returned). New sets are being added every day and includes the popular Lego Friends sets, Lego Star Wars sets and even Lego Duplo sets. For more information on how to sign-up visit, www.pleygo.com.

They (nor you, most likely) were around during tie dye’s heyday in the ’60s, but there’s a good chance your kids will be screaming for this crazily vibrant print on some article of clothing for summer 2013. This thought may send you into a tailspin, envisioning boxy, DIY-style, hippie-esque tees on your little one, but take heart. More reminiscent of swirling water and even ikat, designers are taking signature tie dye and mixing it up into some surprisingly chic—or at least more subdued—patterns. It’s cool and casual…perfect for that summery vibe everyone loves.

Mommy-and-me styles can venture into dicey territory. Too literal and it’s all to easy for the mom or daughter to wind up looking completely age-inappropriate. Kirna Zabete seemed to get it just right with the May edition of their six month collaboration with Nine West. The newly-launched Mommy & Me Collection features a metallic, bejeweled thong sandal that’s both perfect for summer 2013 and for moms and daughters of all ages. And even better, 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Mommy & Me Collection will be donated to Baby Buggy, a charitable organization helping families in need. View this month’s collection, as well as those from February, March and April at ninewest.com or kirnazabete.com.

Watercolor, pencil, crayon…no matter the medium, kids love to create. And, as parents, we usually just can’t stand the thought of tossing their artwork into the recycling bin, which leads to piles upon piles of kid art hidden around the house. Scanning it all into the computer is one fix for the mountain of creativity, but that requires a significant time investment on a parent’s part. For both the time savings and the quality, Artimus Art is one of the best options I’ve seen. Offering museum quality photo books, an image gallery for sharing, high resolution artwork DVDs and even the option of turning artwork into oil on canvas, Artimus Art is quick and easy. Just sign up for the service, pick your package and any additional add-ons, then box up and ship your child’s artwork to them. Artimus Art does the rest. Package prices start at around $165 and parents can save an additional10% with the multi-child discount.

Artimus Art Museum Quality Art Book Packages, $165-$285 (add-ons from $35), artimusart.com
